7 '0 (LIZ a: from it may concern:

Be it known that I, NICHOLAS P. Mosns, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago. in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Inserts for Catalogs orSpecimen-Books, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to inserts for catalogs or specimen booksembodying wall paper in miniature sheets produced in the characteristicinks employed in wall paper work, and with the filling or side walldesign and the appropriate frieze or border combined for display inunitary form.

The invention contemplates primarily a novel insert of the charactermentioned by which it is possible to produce in miniature simultaneouslyand upon a single sheet both the filling or side wall design and thefrieze or border to match the same. The frieze, therefore, thus isgrouped or assembled with the wall design and the effect of the two intheir relation each to the other immediately is discernible. Thisprovides not only for convenient and ready display of the frieze andside wall patterns, but it avoids the necessity for separate productionof the same, thus reducing the cost of printing and also providing formore convenient attainment of the unitary assemblage.

The invention is designed for production of miniature sheets of wallpaper for binding in catalogs or specimen books wherein it is desiredthat the wall and frieze shall be displayed in associated relation, andto produce such inserts in the natural colors and by the utilization ofthe inks or pigments characteristic of wall paper production. Theobserver, therefore, of the inserts as bound in the catalogs readily maysee the exact colorings and effects that are presented in the actualsized papers, as well as the grouping of the frieze and the filling orwall designs as the same appear in the full sized papers when hung on awall.

In the drawings, wherein appears a preferred embodiment of mechanism forcarrying the present invention into effect- Figure 1 is a diagrammaticarrangement of the essential portions of a wall paper printing machineconstructed in accordance with and adapted for attainment of the presentinvention;

Fig. 2 is a top plan View of the ink box and the feed roll thereof;

B g. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the ink box and its feedroll;

B g. 4 is a plan view of a design roll equlpped for printing wall paperas contemplatedby the present invention;

I 1g. 5 1s a conventional illustration .of the resultant miniaturesheet.

Referring now in detail to the accompanying drawings, the numeral 10designates the usual drum of a wall paper mach ne over which the web 11of paper to be prlnted is passed. This is constructed in thecharacteristic manner of wall paper printing machines and operated bythe customary mechanism. It will also be understood that there isassociated with the drum 10 as many inking and printing mechanisms as 18necessary for laying the several colors onto the web 11. Fig. 1illustrates merely one of these mechanisms, .it being understood thatthis single mechanism typifies the general arrangement to be followedthe number of the same being governed by the number of colors to beincorporated in the design.

The inking mechanism includes an ink box or fountain 12 wherein isjournaled an ink feeding roll 13, and said roll, through the medium ofsuitable distributing rolls 14, is designed to feed the ink upon adistributing web 15 which travels around a pair of rolls 16 arranged inproximity to the drum 10. The web 15 is in contact with the design orprinting roll 17 bearing that particular portion or portions of thedesign for laying the color or colors of the web 15 with which it is incontact. Hence, the entire number of printing rolls 17 distributed aboutthe drum 10, as is customary in wall paper machines, cooperate to laythe entire design and the entire grouping of colors which will appear inthe printed web as it leaves the drum 10.

It has been premised that the present invention contemplates thesimultaneous printing of the frieze and the wall or filling patterns ordesigns, so that as the web leaves the drum 10 it will have appliedthereto as a unitary assemblage the design which is incorporated in thefrieze and that which is incorporated in the wall portion. To this endthe roll 17 is provided with a plurality of fields 18 and 19 separatedby a groove or grooves 20 in accordance with the number of fields intowhich the surface of the roll is divided. These fields contain theraised printing surfaces 21 of that portion of the design to be printedby the particular roll 17. Therefore, it will be seen that the field 18will include the portion of the frieze design which is to be printed inone color, while the field 19 will include that portion of the design ofthe wall which is to be printed in another color.-

To maintain the different colored inks separate from each other the inkbox 12 is provided with a partition or partitions 22 thus dividing thebox 12 into compartments corresponding in number to the number of fieldsof the printing roll 17 which is included in that particular printinggroup. The ink feeding roll 13 is also divided into fields 23 and 24through the medium of a groove 25 which registers with and receives thepartition 22 and thereby permits the fields 23 and 24 to feed thedifferent colored inks from the respective compartments of the box 12 inwhich said fields 23 and 24 rotate without blending or commingling ofthe inks. ted to the inking web 15 and by the latter is applied to theraised design portions of the fields 18 and 19 of the roll 17 for layingthese colors on the web 11 as it passes between the roll 17 and theimpression roll or drum 10.

In the rotation of the drum 10 the web 11 is fed around the same in theusual way When so fed the ink is transmitand as the web passes beneaththe several printing rolls 17 the design of the latter is printed on theweb. Not only is the coloring of the wall laid upon the web. but thecoloring of the frieze is likewise laid thereon and regardless of thefact that each printing roll 17 is fed from an ink box containing aplurality of colors, the separation of the fields 18 and 19 of the roll17 enables the application of these colors without overlapping orcommingling of the same.

I claim:

1. As a new article of manufacture, an insert for catalogs or specimenbooks comprising a miniature sheet of wall paper wherein are included asa unitary assemblage the designs of the filling or wall and the friezeor bolrder displayed in characteristic wall paper in (s.

2. As a new article-of manufacture, an insert for catalogs or specimenbooks comprising a miniature sheet of wall paper having at one of itsends the design of the frieze or border, the remainder of the sheethaving the design of the filling or wall, whereby to present saiddesigns as a unitary assemblage, said designs being displayed incharacteristic wall paper inks.

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
